Career highlights from the dawn of the commercial internet to today’s AI and quantum eras.
AI is the current chapter — not the whole book
Technology revolutions introduce new business opportunities, risks, and policy uncertainty. AI is the current chapter, not the whole book. True strategic leadership requires navigating these critical shifts with deep insight and a multi-dimensional perspective.
For leaders, boards, and investors handling high-stakes matters, we provide the multi-dimensional guidance to optimize decision quality, drive execution, manage risk, and help convert technology investments into enduring business value in the face of uncertainty.

The business payoff
These decades of experience provide grounding that elevates strategy, decision-making, and execution — helping convert innovation into business results while navigating risks in an uncertain legal landscape. While AI and quantum present new waves, critical lessons from the past inform today’s actions and decisions.
Lee didn’t enter the technology landscape during the recent artificial intelligence wave. She has navigated multiple transformational shifts firsthand — guiding companies in the early days of expanding cable and communications competition, through the explosive growth of mobile networks, the internet, and e-commerce, to today’s AI and emerging quantum eras.
Decades advising corporations, investors, boards, and governments on achieving goals and managing uncertainty.

The business payoff
This multi-dimensional perspective helps clients better manage uncertainty and anticipate and adapt to policy changes — which can deliver a competitive advantage and help protect the balance sheet and reduce business interruption.
Having sat at many important seats at the table, Lee brings critical insight to managing transformation and uncertainty. She bridges the gap between commercial growth and macro policy — working closely with fast-growth and emerging companies, Fortune 500s, and investors to protect assets, capture value, and reduce risk, in addition to advising governments.
A rare career combining strong technical credentials with elite legal and policy experience, helping businesses and governments.

The business payoff
Because technical teams, lawyers, business leaders, and boards often speak different languages, this background helps break down institutional silos and align cross-functional teams toward shared goals. This multi-disciplinary foundation helps ground strategic advice in legal reality as well as business and technical capability — helping boards, corporations, and investors optimize decision quality and drive successful execution.
We address complex challenges with a rare combination of business, technical, policy, and legal fluency. Lee’s AmLaw 50 partnership experience is backed by an engineering foundation — her electrical engineering degree, her engineering academic appointments, and her roles at NIST and with the International Reports on the Safety of Advanced AI.
